just got my stanford rejection too...first of the cycle, alas. surprisingly, im not upset at all. i never really expected to get in because of my gpa, and i couldn't really imagine any circumstance where i would end up moving to california for law school. ah well.

Sorry chombi, and wow you were complete in December? Thats bad news, since I was complete in late November...warming up my space

thanks steve. i think you're much more likely to be accepted with your stellar gpa in a tough major...maybe it's good news that they're onto december and you haven't gotten anything!

thanks for the kind words chombi, but the more I go through this process the more I see/realize that LSAT is king, and unfortunately (for me) GPA is just kinda there... [/quote]

well as much as that's true for most schools (to my delight), i think stanford and boalt are two of the most notable exceptions. judging from the former's acceptances this cycle on LSN, you basically need a 3.9 or above.

rejected by stanford today. letter dated 1/20. I'd just like to point out that Stanford lost to UC Davis in both football and basketbal this year. UC Davis is was DII a year or two ago. And of course, stanford also lost the big game to Cal this year. Go Bears.

The one good thing about these Stanford dings is that you can be sure they're not rejecting people just because of their numbers. They have to take a careful look at the files of some outstanding candidates to find an excuse to reject so many this early in the cycle.

I hope I get a personalized letter telling me that it's not just my old GPA that made them reject me, but that they gave my file a detailed examination and decided that they flat-out don't like me.
